Faith INTRODUCTION Living faith always involves love. —Richard Niebuhr Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God. —Dietrich Bonhoeffer The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. —Galatians 5:6 The issue of faith arises in almost every area of human existence, so it is important to understand its multiple meanings. For many of us, a question that needs to be answered is “Am I a person of faith?” The answer is almost always affirmative. In this book, my primary goal is to explore the broader meaning of faith, its far-reaching effect on our lives, and its relationship to past, present, and future events in America and around the world. I also emphasize the religious aspects of faith since this is how the word is most often used, and I have included a description of the ways my own faith has guided and sustained me, as well as how it has challenged and driven me to seek a closer and better relationship with people and with God. Faith, in both its religious and broader dimensions, influences our individual and communal lives, our lives in religion, and our lives in government and in secular affairs. The most important element of faith ever imposed on me, and on another person simultaneously, involved the threat of the total elimination of human life on earth by a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. My ultimate responsibility as President of the United States was to defend my country against a military attack, and I learned soon after my election that we and the Soviets had enough atomic weapons in our arsenals to destroy each other and that the resulting radiation and other collateral damage would kill most of the rest of the world’s population. This was a constant haunting realization that dominated my conscious hours during my term in office—and I shared the responsibility with Leonid Brezhnev, President of the Soviet Union. Our common goal, of course, was to avoid a nuclear war. Brezhnev and I had to have faith in ourselves, and in each other. Every decision I made was affected by this threat, and it still exists, as the same responsibility is passed on from one president to the next. We face many issues within which religion, politics, and private matters tend to mix, sometimes explosively, creating sharp divisions among us, in our private and public lives and between and within religious denominations. It is increasingly difficult to keep issues of religion and government separate, as even the purely religious issues are routinely addressed by politicians—and vice versa. I have confronted the separation of government and religion from both directions. I think often of the strong reaction of our visiting revival preacher in my mother’s home when I decided to run for the state senate back in 1962. He asked me, “How can you, as a Christian, a deacon, and a Sunday School teacher, become involved in the dirty business of politics?” Without thinking, I gave him a smart-aleck response: “I will have 75,000 people in my senate district. How would you like to have a congregation that big?” I believe now, more than then, that Christians are called to plunge into the life of the world, and to inject the moral and ethical values of our faith into the processes of governing. At the same time, there must be an absolute prohibition against granting any control by government over our religious freedoms. More recently, since our years in the White House, I have tended to move away from politics and toward religion, but the two are still related. There is no doubt that my having been a national political leader is what attracts most visitors to my Bible classes, and it is clear to me that many of these worshippers are eager to help shape our nation’s political agenda. In a speech to my fellow Baptists in 1978, I tried to explain the duality of my personal responsibilities as a president and a Christian: Thomas Jefferson, in the original days of our country, said he was fearful that the church might influence the state to take away human liberty. Roger Williams, who created the first Baptist church in America, was afraid that the church might be corrupted by the state. These concerns led to our Constitution’s First Amendment, which prohibits the establishment of any official state religion and, in the same sentence, prohibits the passing of any laws that might interfere with religious freedom. Separation is specified in the law, but for a religious person, there is nothing wrong with bringing these two together, because you can’t divorce religious beliefs from public service. At the same time, of course, in public office you cannot impose your own religious beliefs on others. In my office at the White House I have to deal with many domestic and international problems: peace, freedom, nuclear explosives, the sale of weapons, terrorism, rapidly expanding populations without adequate food. But this is more than a list of political problems. These are also moral problems for you and me, because they violate the very precepts of God in which we believe. I want our country to be strong enough in all elements, military and otherwise, so we never have to prove we are strong. Reinhold Niebuhr, in his book Moral Man and Immoral Society, pointed out the difference between a society and a people. The expectations from a person are a much higher standard. A person should have as our goal complete agape (self-sacrificial love). The most we can expect from a society is to institute simple justice. So, we as people have to do better, particularly if we are blessed with the opportunity to demonstrate our worth. Leaders also must be careful not to be too timid. . . . A country will have authority and influence because of moral factors, not its military strength; because it can be humble and not blatant and arrogant; because our people and our country want to serve others and not dominate others. And a nation without morality will soon lose its influence around the world. What are the goals of a person or a denomination or a country? They are all remarkably the same: a desire for peace; a need for humility, for examining one’s faults and turning away from them; a commitment to human rights in the broadest sense of the words, based on a moral society concerned with the alleviation of suffering because of deprivation or hatred or hunger or physical affliction; and a willingness, even an eagerness, to share one’s ideals, one’s faith with others, to translate love in a person to justice. I was brought up in a family that was stable, cohesive, and remarkably isolated from the outside world, except for the small community of Plains, Georgia. Home was our unchangeable haven, in times of pain or pleasure. There was no doubt that my father made the final decisions, but we all knew that Mama’s influence and opinions were always major factors in the management of our family. There were certain aspects of life, particularly in the running of the household and the raising of my sisters, that were almost exclusively my mother’s purview. Together, our parents were dominant, and we children respected and obeyed them. In fact, I never deliberately disobeyed either of them. It was my mother, then my father, in whom I had absolute faith. Nowadays, most Americans move around frequently and are exposed to many influences, and our environments and customs are multifaceted. But for me as a child, there were just a few sources of knowledge about myself or any other people. Our contacts with the world beyond our community were limited. We didn’t have running water or electricity in our house, so time on the battery radio was restricted, even on the rare evenings when we stayed up after dark. On special nights, keeping our eyes fixed on the radio, we listened as a family to The Lone Ranger, Little Orphan Annie, Fibber McGee and Molly, and Amos ’n’ Andy. My parents would sometimes let me stay up until 8:00 P.M. to hear Glenn Miller’s band playing the current musical hits for fifteen minutes. That was all the outside world I knew. In addition to my family and our close neighbors, all African-American, I encountered other people just through school and the church in Plains. Our prom parties, which parents would support for entertainment and primarily to let boys and girls get acquainted in preparation for future marriages, were orchestrated by the church. Sunday mornings were for Sunday School and preaching at Plains Baptist Church, where Daddy was a teacher and a deacon. I remember vividly that after church we always had the best meal of the week, usually fried chicken, mashed potatoes, hot biscuits, and vegetables from our big garden, followed by pies made from sweet potatoes or fruits of the season. Afterward, our activities were severely limited. There were no stores open, movies in the county seat were out of the question, and shooting a gun or playing cards was prohibited. Fishing in the nearby creek or pond was a close call, but eventually it came to be permitted if done discreetly. It would not have been appropriate, however, to walk down a public road with a fishing pole. My mother and father played cards, mostly bridge, but certainly not on Sunday. At the age of twelve, when I was deemed old enough to drive a car by myself, my sisters and I went back to the church on Sunday evenings for meetings of the Baptist Young People’s Union (BYPU). This was very important, because it was the BYPU that sponsored most of the teenage social events. I need not go on, since the picture is fairly clear. It was a simple, family-centered, deeply religious, working existence, with interracial labor and play on the farm with my black neighbors. All the farmwork was done by humans or mules, and we grew corn as the common fuel for both. I imagine that, except for the radio, automobile, and a hand-cranked telephone, our lives were quite similar to those of our great-grandparents. During those early years, I witnessed the racial discrimination that still survived almost a hundred years after the end of the Civil War. Mandatory segregation of black and white citizens was supported and enforced, at least in the Southeastern United States, by state and federal laws, and was not questioned by anyone of influence that I knew. The only person who paid no attention to these racial customs was my mother, and she treated everyone the same because, I presumed, she was a registered nurse and a member of the medical profession. When I was a child, all my friends and playmates were African-American, and the one who was preeminent at any time was whoever had caught the biggest fish, killed the most rabbits, or could run faster, jump higher, or pick the most cotton in a day. When I rode to our county seat with one of my playmates, we always sat in different railroad cars and at separate levels in the movie theater, attended different schools and churches, and I knew that white students rode in buses and black students walked to and from school. I do not remember knowing that only white adults were permitted to vote and to serve on juries. My first awareness of how segregation affected me and my friends was when my playmates and I were about twelve years old, when we were leaving the field and approaching the barn through what we called the “pasture gate.” The two black boys stood back to let me pass, and I presumed there was a trip wire there or some other reason for them to want me to go through first. Only much later did I realize that their parents had probably told them it was time for them to defer to me in some way. In a poem I wrote as an adult, I said, We only saw it vaguely then, but we were transformed at that place. A silent line was drawn between friend and friend, race and race. The next event that affected me directly was when I was a submarine officer and President Harry Truman ordained as commander in chief that all our military forces and the U.S. Civil Service end racial segregation. There was no trouble in implementing this command, and all of us on the ship saw the advantages gained by both black and white members of the crew. When our family returned home from the navy in 1953, this commitment to racial equality had become a part of our lives. My father taught me that there should be a strict divide between religion and politics, and he also resented very deeply any intrusion of state or federal laws into our private affairs. I remember that Daddy opposed changing our clocks from “God’s sun time” to “daylight saving time,” and although a staunch Democrat in other elections, he never voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt after 1932, because the New Deal agricultural program provided, to stabilize farm prices, that half-grown pigs (shoats) should be slaughtered and that part of our growing crops of cotton and peanuts had to be plowed up. For many years afterward, Daddy recalled how difficult it was to force a trained mule to walk on top of a planted row to plow it up instead of in the middle to cultivate. I guess that today he would be known as a libertarian. When I look back on my life, I can see how startling the changes have been. Eric Hoffer (1902–1983), the self-educated longshoreman and philosopher, described the years during my childhood as a time of hope, and the time of my adulthood as a time of desire. I knew the Great Depression years to be a time of hope, when the economic situation in America was so bad that everyone believed it could only improve; when things became plentiful, we tended to want not only what we already had but also what everyone else had. Both at my presidential inauguration and when receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, I quoted my favorite teacher, Miss Julia Coleman, who summarized her advice on how to accommodate the uncertainties in our future: “We must welcome changing times, but cling to principles that never change.” I would say that “cling to” meant “have faith in.” I have thought often about Miss Julia’s advice over the years, and especially during some of the most trying times of my life, when I had to decide which enduring principles should be applied to a particular event or situation, and sometimes I use it in my church and college classes and in counseling people who are distressed about current crises that we have to face. Today, of course, family life even in the small Plains community is quite different. Some activities that were once strictly concealed in our “proper” society are probably no more prevalent but are now out in the open. Divorce has become acceptable, even for active church members. Without trying to analyze it too deeply, I see that one of the most significant changes is the relationship between young people and their parents. My siblings and I had an intimate and subservient relationship with our parents until we left home, but now the ties are substantially broken during the early teen years, no matter how much parents want to retain a strong influence over their growing children. The outside world is a much more powerful factor in life, with the availability of rapid transportation, television, social media, and particularly a broader circle of friends (and possibly rivals or adversaries), whose influence often exceeds that of immediate families. But perhaps just as many in today’s world would still like to have certain faith in a core of principles that do not change. Where do we turn now when there is a moral question to be answered? What things in the twenty-first century are the same as they were eighty years ago? We still need a permanent foundation on which our lives can be fashioned. Without a central core of beliefs or standards in which to have faith and by which to live, we may never experience the challenge and excitement of seeking a greater life. We will have ceased to grow, like Jesus, “strong; he was, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him” (Luke 2:40). We must accommodate life’s challenges, some welcome and others quite painful, but we don’t want the verities of our lives to change. We need to have something unshakable in which to have faith, like a mother’s love—something that can’t be changed or destroyed by war, political events, the loss of a loved one, lack of success in business, a serious illness, or failure to realize our own ambitions. We need some foundation on which we can build a predictable and dependable existence. This cannot always be found in either our nation’s laws or our social customs. I would like to say as an American who has been president that the cherished values of our country are constant, but they are not. There are always powerful forces that work against the idealistic principles of peace, truthfulness, equality, justice, and even hospitality, freedom, and friendship. There is a lot of secret maneuvering that is never understood or even known by the public, and a great deal of unpublicized change in the interpretation of laws or the passage of new ones. Some laws violate what seem to be accepted principles and create serious divisions within our society. Also, almost every major religious faith—Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Islamic—is divided over controversial secular issues like abortion, gay rights, the role of women in society, or even female clothing. But despite the confusion and controversy in secular affairs and among religious organizations, the basic principles I’ve just mentioned have never changed. These are the foundation for our faith. People have always tried to improve their own lives, through communal living and the evolution of secular laws and rules considered to be beneficial, at least to a dominant portion of them. So far as I know, a concerted worldwide effort to encapsulate high ideals into a common agreement has been made only once, and included the nations who had been victorious, or at least neutral, in World War II. This common agreement is known as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I remember that I followed the United Nations proceedings in San Francisco very closely as a member of the U.S. Navy, either as a midshipman at Annapolis or from a battleship in the Atlantic Ocean. The key nations that founded the U.N. in October 1945 were the “Big Four”—China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and they were joined by forty-seven others. The overriding objective was to prevent further armed conflicts after more than 60 million people had been killed in the war, and to agree on a set of peace incentives that could prevent warfare among future potential disputants. For many complex reasons, the United Nations’s primary goal of preserving peace has not been reached. Since that time, the military forces of our own country have been involved in conflict with more than twenty other nations, in wars that cost the lives of 10 million people, and the potential for further military engagements remains. As of November 2017, the United States military forces were actively engaged in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Niger, Somalia, Jordan, and Thailand. Andrew Bacevich, a retired colonel who lost a son in Iraq, made an accurate comment: “A collective indifference to war has become an emblem of contemporary America.” One major reason for our citizens’ lack of concern about warfare is that most families are not directly affected by these conflicts, since the burden of combat now falls on just the 1 percent of Americans who serve in the military. To live in peace is only one of the key human rights, and in December 1948, when the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it described these principles in thirty brief articles. To the best of their ability, those who drafted this declaration extracted the highest moral and ethical ideals of the world’s great religions and expressed them in secular terms that could be understood by lawmakers and private citizens of all nations. The Universal Declaration promised to all people the economic, social, political, cultural, and civic rights that underpin a life free from discrimination, want, and fear. As with the United Nations’s promise of sustained peace, these promises of human rights have not been realized. It seems that there is a steady reduction in the number of things in which we can have faith. We know that evolution is a global process, usually progressive, that results from the adaptation of living organisms to natural selection and sudden mutations. I believe it has been God’s plan to evolve human beings, and that after thousands of centuries we now find ourselves uniquely endowed with an understanding of who and what we are and have the knowledge and freedom to help shape our own destiny. This freedom to help in affecting our future evolution is a great challenge and opportunity, and it is our inherited duty to contribute to moral and spiritual advancement. It is sobering to realize that the average human intelligence has probably not changed appreciably during the last ten thousand years. In fact, the total capacity of the brains of Neanderthals has been found to be greater than that of modern humans. We also know that the process of learning has greatly accelerated during recent times with our improved ability to share information rapidly. For the first time, we have become aware that our own existence is threatened by things such as nuclear weapons and global warming. These recognized threats are, perhaps, already an ongoing test of our human intelligence, our freedom, and our ability to shape our own destiny. The human challenge now is to survive by having sustained faith in each other and in the highest common moral principles that we have spasmodically evolved, and through mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation in addressing the discerned challenges to our common existence. It is urgent that humans take a new look at the rapidly growing need for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Ten Commandments, the Koran, or the teachings of Jesus Christ and to see if these visions of improved human interrelationships might be used to meet the challenges of the present moment and evolve a future of peaceful coexistence, based on faith in each other.

Former President Carter presents ideas about faith through a multifaceted lens with the hope of leading all readers into a better awareness of God. Can the God of Abraham can be the God not only of Christians and Jews but perhaps all religions espousing a belief in one God? Carter does not go that far but he does compare and contrast the three main religions affecting the lives of four billion people on our planet. While weaving quotes of other biblical scholars into a tapestry of his faith, Carter reminds Americans old and young of where he has been, who influenced him along his journeys and how he wound up teaching Sunday school in a town of 700 people.Should you worship at Maranatha Baptist Church what you will experience is an hour of unconditional love with real people and a personal presence with a very humble man who really is quietly evangelizing people in the hopes of bettering their lives.Anyone who struggles with faith, and seeks guidance toward being a better person in their marriage, in their work, in their community, in their country, can benefit from this book.
I have read every one of Jimmy Carter's books and completed this latest one in one day. In this book, he writes about the general use of the word "faith" and gives examples of faith in his personal life. He writes again about the wealth disparity between the rich and poor and describes how people with money in our country influence elections. He states that "our democratic system of elections and governing has become a tool of the wealthy." An oligarchy. He quotes several scriptures including, "Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds"- James 2:18. President Carter describes influential people who have demonstrated their faith and influenced his faith development with their writings and actions. He discusses how his volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity and The Carter Center are extensions of his faith. He frankly opens up about his 2015 cancer diagnosis and writes, "I was surprised and pleased to discover that I was not afraid, but overwhelmingly grateful for my long and good life while sad to be leaving the people I loved." After his initial cancer treatment, he warmly shares how the Plains' community rallied to support him, "When I returned home to Plains, the streets and front yards were covered with political-type campaign signs saying, "Jimmy Carter for Cancer Survivor." This is a quick read and covers several recent topics such as his illness and the recent political climate which were not covered in previous books. I am glad to have this book in my Jimmy Carter library.
I have all of President Carter's books. I am working toward reading all 30-plus. Unfortunately, I acquire books much faster than I am able to read. Not setting aside enough time is my biggest obstacle. "Faith" was one I couldn't and can't put down neither literally nor figuratively. I am a lifelong non-pious, non-believer. That said, I find President and Rosalynn Carter's devout unswerving faith to be a continuing inspiration to me as I see how it guides them to effect positive change in a world that is starving for honest government leadership, peaceful co-existence among nations, races, and religions, compassion for those in need of food, clean water, shelter, and advocacy for basic human rights, mental health awareness, and global eradication of preventable diseases. My only criticism of this particular book is that it's the only one I don't have signed by President Carter. Oh Well! See you in June Jimmy...
I knocked this book out in a couple of days. Jimmy Carter is a treasure and this is especially true juxtaposedthe contagion of Trump. Carter uses various lenses through which to look at faith measured against someof the ideas of our greatest theologians. It is a work that is multi layered and powerful. Caret always hasa sense of the bigger picture and is able to interface politics and justice through his life long quest for faith.He is one of the few former presidents in the modern age who has dedicated his life to others rather thanthe fees he could collect in speaking engagements. His humanity and goodness shines forth in this book.It is a very good read. But more importantly, he makes you 'think' about the issues of our day through the lensof faith, God, and just acts. He reminds us that 'justice' is a way of life, or ought to be!

As the heading said, this book sucks..1) I thought first off that the size of the book was going to be cool, but NO! The book always closes when your trying to do the end of chapter problems. If you want to flip between the in chapter problems and look up something in the book its almost impossible. Or, if you want a page open to write a definition you have to have your hand holding the book down to make sure you can write it.2) The book is super confusing and very dry. Im so glad i have a cool teacher for this class that really explains what they are talking about. I will read the chapter and not know what I read at all the next day.3) They don't explain anything!I hope no one else gets stuck with this book for a Government Accounting class.
This is the worst accounting book ever that I purchased and attempted to use for my accounting class. I am a very good student with a 4.0 GPA and read quite easily. However, it was virtually impossible for me to comprehend what was in this book. It consists of hundreds of pages of blabber without any type of structure or common sense flow. It looks like someone got high and just started typing like a maniac, writing down the thought of the moment with some chapter titles and subtitles thrown in just before publishing. It is dense, exceptionally boring and poorly written. It was so hard to plow through this text that I ended up dropping it. It would have stuck to the class if I did not have to put up with this book.
This book should not be used as the first-time learner of governmental accounting; I feel this book is probably more like a refresher for someone who have had a governmental accounting background. With no governmental accounting before, I was assigned to this book by our teacher. OMG, I thought I was going to fail this class because I read one of the chapters three times and it wasn't making any sense at all!!! I pulled an A in the class, but I didn't rely on the book at all. The material was not difficult to understand (or I might have an easy teacher), but I don't know why the book has to make it so difficult!!! Luckily I rented the book, but I think it was still waste of money.
I bought this book for college because I had to, not because I wanted to. IT'S VERY BORING. Honestly everything you need to know case be read in the first 2 chapters. After that the book just repeats itself over and over.
Useful for governmental, NP, hospital, and educational institutional accounting. Dry topic but excellent material which is up to date, well organized, and easy to understand. Add 10 points easy to your FAR exam by studying this material.Only complaint is that solutions are not provided in order to check work. Also an excellent value!!
This is NOT a good textbook for someone learning accounting, however, this will be an excellent reference guide once I have learned the governmental accounting.This text provides a significant number of journal type transaction entries any brief explanation of general areas of government accounting.It lacks start to finish examples of how to complete many of the reporting and requirements for governmental accounting.If I had it to do over again I would keep this text is a reference and not a textbook.
The book is extremely poorly written, difficult to follow with many topics only partially explained at best. The highly nuanced writing style results in ambiguous coverage and frequently the authors do not cover all elements of the accounting treatment, which are only discovered through reviewing answers to chapter quizzes. The on-line chapter quizzes do help to explain the appropriate accounting treatment. Some students advise me they elect not to purchase the book, but rather, visit the publisher's website to take chapter quizzes and use them as study guides.
This book has so many mistakes in the text and answer key that my professor for this class was forced to waste her time correcting all of these issues (there is a newer version which may be improved, not sure). The organization is confusing and many of the topics are out of order (same with the power point slides online). Only pro was that the examples had real life meaning. Would not recommend for personal gain or for a class.

Great Book!
two previous reviewers have the opinion that this book is inferior to the book by kandarpa. After carefully reviewing both books, I believe that this is an understatement. Also, I wonder if the long laudatory review could have been confabulated by the author himself. If so this reflects poorly on amazon.com.Finally, is the author a radiologist or a practicing radiologist?
i read the other reviews and i'm wondering what book did they read? you get a felling that the author really doesn't perform interventional procedures. i would have to recommend a better book - kandarpa's handbook is much better!
